BEIJIG, June 20 -- On June 18th, the UK's offshore patrol vessel (OPV) HMS Spey sailed through the Taiwan Strait and hyped it up publicly. Troops assigned to the Chinese PLA Eastern Theater Command (ETC) tracked and monitored the action of the UK warship throughout the process and dealt with it effectively, said Senior Captain Liu Runke, spokesperson for the navy of the Chinese PLA ETC, in a written statement released on Friday.
The spokesperson slammed that the UK's relevant remarks distorted the legal principles and confused the public, and its actions were deliberately intended to disrupt the situation, undermining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. "The troops of the PLA Eastern Theater Command will remain on high alert at all times and resolutely counter all threats and provocations," stressed the spokesperson.
